board to the fact as shown

towns may know the time of day.

INsANE.--Thomas Booth. q wealthy
farmer from the town of Smelser. CON-
plant having been made by his neigh
bors, was tried for insanity in this city
about two weeks ago. DIS. Barber and
Hassell conducted the examination and
pronounced him insane. He appealed
and called for jury who afterwards
pronounced him sane. Last week an
other complaint was made to Sheriff
Dolphin who took him before Drs, Buck
and Gasser. at Platteville, who spent
Thursday and Friday in his examina-
ton and pronounced him insane Friday
night. During Friday night, at about
one o'clock, Mr.. Booth stole away from
the Gates House where he was stopping
and set fire to DIR. Gasser's house, out
of revenge for the Dr's. decision. The
night Waterman discovered him coming
fromGasser's yard just few minutes be-
fore the fire was discovered and book
partly consumed, used in making the
fire, was found to be one taken from
the Gates House office. The fire was
put out before much damage was done.
Twenty-Five dollars will cover the loss.
Saturday the sheriff took Booth to the
insane asylum at Madison where he
now is.

A year ago we announced that we
were going to do our level best to COM
pei the insurance companies OF Ameri-
ca to recognize the fact now demon
strsted in England and recognized by
such distinguished actuaries as Nelson
that total abstainers live one-third long
er than moderate drinkers, and hence
that Il costs one third less to insure
their lives. That being 50, we declared
that total abstainers have a right TO
demand insurance at correspondingly
low rates. We determined to thunder
along this line until this principle is
recognized and to this end we have

stainance men. Now we are pleased
that another company has organized

Concerning the progress Of the tenn
perance cause in England, Bishop Tenn
pie says: There was a time when
people heard of total abstinence with
a quiet smile of ridicule. There was d
time when all the medical profession
set themselves steadily against it, when
insurance companies refused to insure
the lives Of pledged abstainers because
they thought them cracked-when any
man protesting to be an abstainer
found himself marked man, the OBJ
ject of scornful wonder among his
fellows. All is changed. Thousands
in every rank of society are taking up
the cause. The medical profession
has changed its note, and that change
is increasing day by day. We could
not be laughed at now.''- The Living

A HARMLESS ANARCHIsT.--Las week
Frank Holloway was arrested at Cass-
vile on charge Of vagrancy. Having
no particular place of abode he had
been occupying barns and other build
ings for temporary shelter, putting in
most Of his time in the saloons, and in
dulging to freely for his own good or
the good of the community. His trial
before Justice Sneclode resulted in a
sentence of thirty days in the county
jail which he is now serving out. He
perpetrated characteristic joke upon
the court which is too good to keep.
He had prepared dynamite bomb
minus the dynamite of a piece of
lead pipe plugged at both ends, and had
inserted fuse in one end. When the
trial got fairly under way he slyly
lighted the fuse and rolled the bomb out
on the floor. The effect may be better
imagined than described. In fact we do
not know what the effect was, but pre-
sumo his honor and the witnesses got a
genuine shock.
